President Castro's medical condition has been shrouded in mystery,

"He's dead, Jim."

One of my favorite fantasies. I'm Superman. I'd round up all the dictators (and a few wannabes, mostly Dems in this country) and drop them in Leavenworth, and distinctly tell the countries where I took them from that if there is ANY retaliation, even verbal criticism, from that country, their next set of leaders is next to go to Leavenworth. I'd stack those SOB's seven deep if I had to. Castro first.

The Cuban people have great health care and facilities as you can see here: The Real Cuba. Best of all, it's FREE! If only Hillary could become president and the Dems gain control of Congress, we could have such great things in the US.

The Cuban leader received treatment on a par with the best in the world. >B?But most Cubans, reliant on the supposedly universal health system, have to pay for even basic drugs such as aspirin and the equivalent of £30 for "extras" such as X-rays.

The leftists always seem to forget to mention that.

I think the time would be right to para-drop several thousand cartons of of rifles and ammo to the Cuban citizenry.

The call for Cubans to stay put by the USA suggests we already know Castro checked out... just waiting for Cubar to sort things out and announce it.

Now there something you don't hear in the MSM travelogs showing
Cuba to be the workers' paradise.

So much for "free" socialized medicine.

If he's not dead, then he's non-functional. Comatose, maybe?

Raúl Castro's silence created tension, even as the media insisted he was "firmly at the helm".

Just as ABCNBCSeeBS would do if, say, Clinton had died doing Monica.

This is a particularly good and honest article. Not published in the USA, of course.

When we were in Cuba in '99, we traveled to the eastern city of Pinar del Rio on an "official" tour bus. Once there, friend and I walked away from the group. A block from the official stop, all buildings lacked paint, though those next to the official stop were brightly painted. Then a doddering little old man came up and showed us his asthma inhaler. "Look! Fidel gave this to me free!" There were armed soldiers watching him as he did his bit for Castro and tried to divert our attention from the wreckage of his town and his life. Thus, Cuban health care.

You'd better believe that Castro's doctors had guns to their heads while they operated. That's how Cuba works.

Castro’s Intestinal Problem

Doctors operating on the aging Cuban dictator were startled to discover a large mass of petrified excrement was the cause of his intestinal problems. “Apparently, Fidel hasn’t excreted normally in quite some time,” said Hermano Carnicero, one of the attending surgeons. “We can’t understand how he could have survived with such a condition.”

Professor Manuel Transmisión at the University of Mexico City has a theory that may explain how Castro could have survived such a condition for so long. “Castro used to discharge excrement by means of lengthy speeches,” said Transmisión. “Much of what he said could be termed pure crap. Apparently, this served as an alternate means of eliminating bodily waste. In recent years, however, his speeches have been getting shorter. This has allowed the waste to accumulate in his body. The current blockage is the inevitable result.”

“People could not comprehend how or why Castro would give nine-hour speeches,” said Transmisión. “Now we can see the therapeutic value these speeches had for the man. It would also explain his legendary bad-breath.”

Castro, who turns 80 on August 13, said in a statement read on Cuban television that he would be out for “some weeks” following an operation to stem intestinal bloating. He spoke of “an acute intestinal distress with sustained gas pains, which forced me to undergo delicate surgery.” He said he would be taking several weeks’ rest.

In the interim, absolute power has been entrusted in Fidel’s brother Raul who has pledge to “keep the Cuban people free from material temptations and the threat of capitalistic inroads during Fidel’s recuperation.” Raul also warned everyone “do not assume that Fidel’s absence will present an opportunity for counterrevolutionary activities. All opposition to the revolution my brother has made will continue to be ruthlessly crushed as long as I am in charge.”
